1. Daily estimation of blood sugar levels

Daily estimation of blood sugar levels is necessary in all
cases of diabetes - three times a day i.e. fasting, before lunch
and dinner. However, at least twice daily measurement of blood
sugar levels must be taken - fasting and before dinner. All
diabetics are advised to use a blood glucose meter at home for a
regular check-up of their blood sugar levels.

If a diabetic finds more/elevated sugar in his blood, he should
analyse as follows:

(i) What has he been doing for the last 2 hours? He may be
under stress.

(ii) Did he eat more?

(iii) Did he get less insulin/oral drug?

He should act as follows:

(i) If the result is mild sugar, do exercise, jump, walk; the
sugar will thus get consumed or dissipated.
